History

The Vanilla Surprise Chocolate Twix Cake is a modern twist on the classic chocolate cake. The addition of dulce de leche and Twix candy bar adds a unique flavor and texture to this dessert.

Ingredients

How to prepare

  1. First, bake one cake. When the cake is finished, warm up the dulce de leche in the microwave for about 1 minute. You want it to be like a liquid so you can spread it easily on the cake.
  2. Spread the dulce de leche on top of the cake and let it cool.
  3. Then, bake the other cake. When the other cake is finished, place it on top of the cake that has the dulce de leche. It should now be a two-layer cake with dulce de leche in the middle.
  4. Cover the entire cake with the chocolate frosting. Make sure to use enough chocolate frosting to cover the entire cake.
  5. Finally, drizzle some cocoa powder on top of the cake and crush the Twix into pieces. Spread the crushed Twix on top of the cake.
  6. You can also drizzle a little bit of caramel if you want.
  7. Enjoy!
